This smells like your CPU isn't fast enough to take the load. I wouldn't try playing this unless you had at least 1.4 GHz on your side. 512x448 60fps H.264 is a lot of work.
Here's an XviD (MPEG4) version of the same movie. The CPU requirements are much lower, but the quality is much poorer. Please don't download it if you already have the first video.
Awesome !!!!!!!!!
But...I have a question...Is there one moment in what a Megaman is going to the left and the others are going to the right... why that? you don't need to hold to left while sliding? is that?
It's done like this:
The frame before Mega Man 5 falls into the next room, we make him face left. While the screen is scolling at Mega Man 5 we move forward (to the right) at the other Mega Man games. After the screen stops scrolling, neither left or right is pressed to keep MM5 facing left, and the others right. You can slide by pressing down+jump (so no left or right is needed), which enables us to move to the left as well as the right in this case.
Edit:
Since you can't press left or right, you can't jump on a platform (jumping becomes useless). At first, while sliding both left and right, Megaman 3 started sliding right before he had to jump on a platform (screen at mm5 had already scrolled), so Megaman 3 was doomed to walk into a wall for the time mm5 was sliding left. This is why we deliberately slowed down for about 15 frames at Mega Man 5, so he would enter the next room a little later, giving Megaman 3 the ability to get on top of the platform, before mm5's screen had scrolled. This is why it was possible to move forward at all 4 Mega Man games :)
Yeah, I just didn't have the right codec. My CPU is 2.5 Ghz so that was no issue. ;)
It's looking great, though I imagine the sounds of four seperate NES games at once will will become annoying. It's not possible to just play the sound from one game at a time, or would that be MORE distracting?

In my opinion, the sound of four seperate NES games is a lot more funnier and entertaining. And I believe it is possible to play the sound from one game, De knows a lot more.
It is possible to stuff two or more audio tracks in OGM and MKV containers. Say, the first would be MM3 (left channel) + MM4 (right channel), and the second would be MM5 + MM6. I also believe that it was already discussed somewhere…
I am pretty busy lately, so my progress was slow... sorry for that. I did however finish the first part of the first levels today (up to getting the balloon adaptor). Now it's AngerFists turn to take on the next part of the level :)

This WIP is 1 minute and 22 seconds long. Hope everyone enjoys and if you have any comment, as always, please feel free to express them :)

OMG, my comp lags bad running 4 FCEUs at a go... so much so that when I hit unpause, not all emulators respond to it (at most 3 would). Seems like I can't watch the newest WIP yet... my lost :( Gotta wait for an encoded version
As previously mentioned, the four FCMs are not identical, starting at around frame 3900. Minor one-frame differences show up a few times causing desyncs.
But people also want an AVI, so here it is (7zip'd)[Edit: URL broken]. Each video was made with its own FCM, so you get to see what the video should look like.
This goes against the spirit of the whole thing, but it's really the way it's best demonstrated. Oh well...
Edit: thanks to "itsblah" in IRC for getting me (sufficiently working) source to FCEU v.16. Head beatings to people messing with the emulators to the point of breaking sync.

In this case, a sacrifice is inevitable. I will give up working the way I have done for the past 2-3 years, namely, working at 3% speed and no frame advancing. For the sake of the run, I have no other choice than playing the same way as my partner and many other players here: 100% speed and utilizing frame advance. Speaking for myself, it is hard to work at 100% speed with frame advance because the adaptation might take time. Baxter can (he knows this) whenever he desires to redo the 1500 frames but speaking from my experience, it is very tedious, energy consuming (mentally) and unpleasant redoing. It would be extremely selfish to expect Baxter to wait for me to solve my personal issues so therefore if he decides to work on our run, I truly wish him the best from the bottom of my heart. But first, I must fight my inner demons and heal my soul (cannot give much details about that other than I feel my mental health is not so good nowadays) and will be away for a while. Will miss you folks, see you in the near future.
Whoa! It's a trick, don't listen to the voices who tell you that. They only want to isolate you so they can hurt you and they do not want your soul to be healed. I'd be extremely suspicious of anyone who said that they were going to heal me but I was not allowed to tell anyone what they did. If someone in your head is already torturing you, chances are that these are the same ones who tell you to fight the Demons or make you think that you have to do so. They want people to hate the Demons because they are jealous and they want to create a bad world filled with evil where everyone is always in pain. This is because they have made themselves incapable of feeling remorse and refuse to ask Satan for forgiveness and take the punishment He has decided for them because they are so full of evil. Muhammed ben Abdullah, Lev Bronstein, Joseph Stalin and George W. Bush are a few examples of people who hated Demons and Satan. They are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions of people.
Talking about hurting "inner Demons" seems like the step before they tell you to hurt yourself. People who make these kinds of announcements have often disappeared, taken their life or become insane. Satan can help you but you must have faith and never believe the evil voices.
By the way there seems to be an epidemic lately in lack of mental wellbeing... spirits that cause mental illness have bothered me a lot this week and many others too. Just stay strong and they'll eventually become tired especially if they are unsuccessful. (I.e. if they can't make you feel worthless, bad, etc) Screaming at them loudly in rage when you are alone with them and cursing them might help. I wish you the best of luck.
